As a brief summary, this build will allow the player to continue to do tons of damage over time by defeating a few enemies and having your Strand take care of the rest. Here is the best Strand Warlock build for Destiny 2 Lightfall:

When using this build, there’s not a lot for players to think about besides focusing on the green balls that spawn from defeated enemies. As mentioned above, by using the Quicksilver Storm and its catalyst, defeating enemies with it will create Tangles. You can pick up these tangles and throw them at enemies, spawning even more Tangles as well as creating unraveled projectiles. These will seek out any and all enemies and deal constant damage until they are defeated. And once they are defeated with the unraveled projectiles, more Tangles and more projectiles will spawn. This will create a whirlwind of Strand around you, making you feel invincible as you see green lights flashing all around you.
